Making your own seems awesome and I'm really interested but I was scared off by the possibility of poisoning myself/others etc. Did you learn from someone who already knew how to make moonshine or are you self taught?
We only make ferments, so the alcohol content is 15% or less. We learned from books, youtube videos, etc but it's pretty simple if you have the basic equipment. If you want something stronger, there is Apple Jack which we made recently. First, we fermented apple juice to 15%, then we froze it. The water freezes but the alcohol doesn't, so by freezing/straining several times we got something over 40% and tasty as hell. Our basic ferments cost about 1-2$ per liter/quart. Like I said, some are horrible (we won't make that again) and some are delicious. We've fermented straight white sugar and that only cost about 15 cents per liter.
Hi fren! Thanks for the info! Yes, it seems like a good idea to avoid moonshine and stick with beer/wine/things less than 15%. Apple Jack sounds amazing. I'll have to try! I particularly appreciate your cost breakdown, I always want to know the dollars and cents.
I'm glad to help.
If you have any books you'd recommend or any brews you'd particularly recommend avoiding, I'd love to hear about it!
Lol be careful.
